The Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship supports exceptional doctoral students in electrical engineering and computer science, mathematics, physics, and statistics. Run by quantitative trading firm Jane Street, the fellowship reflects its values of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and humility. It supports research across all areas of these disciplines, not only work related to trading or finance, and welcomes research with significant overlap across the eligible fields.
The 2027 fellowship provides support for the upcoming academic year through tuition and fee coverage and a living-expense stipend. Fellows are also invited, but not required, to visit a Jane Street office and give a talk on a topic of their choosing to employees and other fellowship recipients, with all expenses paid.
